I really love this theme, and tried to fix some of the broken icons.
This is what I did:
Add the following line scalable/places to Directories in your index.theme. Or just copy, and replace the old line with this one:
Directories=scalable/places,scalable/apps,scalable/devices,scalable/emblems,scalable/filesystems,scalable/mimetypes,16x16/apps,192x192/apps,24x24/apps,32x32/apps,48x48/apps,64x64/apps,72x72/apps,96x96/apps,scalable/xfce,scalable/categories
Also add these lines to your index.theme:
[scalable/places]
Size=128
Context=Places
Type=Scalable
Make some new symbolic links:
cd ~/.icons/FinalOrder
ln -s scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-directory.png scalable/places/folder.png
ln -s scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-trash-full.png scalable/places/user-trash-full.png
ln -s scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-desktop.png scalable/places/user-desktop.png
ln -s scalable/devices/gnome-dev-harddisk.png scalable/devices/drive-harddisk.png
I haven't fully tested it myself, but this temporarily seems to work on my system (xUbuntu 9.10).
I'll update this post when I encounter any problems or when I find a better solution.
I really love this icon theme, it's really the best I've seen so far. Only some icons are not loading in since I'm using xubuntu. Is there any easy solution to solve this problem?
I just installed your Icons on two of our computers .. .it looks excellent .. what can we do to design the missing icons .. ??
Cheer you up ??

Most of these are d3w aren't they? If so, the d3w GTK theme should have some of the action icons you're looking for.
(If you can find it. I've been looking around and I can't. :( )
d3w? I don't think so, at least I've never heard of it. I believe it was a loose set of icons for Windows which I don't exactly remember where I got them from, but all you see is mostly what was there with a few custom ones here and there. But there were no navigation icons. I have some basic ones for back/forward and such, but those alone will just make things look out of place and worse than leaving it.
but it has compatibility problems.
No, seriously - this theme actually makes XFCE look good. But it needs action icons and other GTK compatibility stuff, very badly; otherwise applications use fallback icons, which look like garbage.
I agree. I would like to actually complete this set with at least the most obvious gtk stuff covered but it's hard to find great icons that match this. Other than that, I'll have to create them myself. Not sure if I could do that many icons satisfactorily. Seems to me like adding mediocre stuff that's out of place is worse than leaving it alone.

Uhh... hi!
I've been windows free since nov 2007 and hav used ubuntu since aug 2007 but I have only used gnome and my eee pc arrived this morning and is now running eeeXubuntu 7.10. I was just wondering, how do you install themes in xfce??
To make an icon theme available you can download an archive to your home folder then extract it into .icons by opening a terminal and running:
tar -xf Filename.tbz2 -C .icons
(If by chance it does not exist, create it first with 'mkdir .icons')
To install it on all users, as root, change to /usr/share/icons ('cd /usr/share/icons') then extract it there ('tar -xf Filename.tbz2')
For themes, substitute the icons directory with themes

Hi I have little problem, i dont have all icons ;/ look at my desktop -> http://imgur.com/HeBC4 can u help me? :)
I'm not sure. It's buggy on certain distributions, and neither a complete set. It should do better now that I set it to inherit the default.
Can you please post a link to the font?

Very nice theme, but the mediafire page isn't working properly for me, the file apparently exists, but the download never starts.
Exucuse my ignorance but how do you unpack the file txz which is what I downloaded??
It's a tar.xz file. If xz is installed 'tar xJf' should unpack it. I have a macros of it and forgot about it. I will upload as bzip2 instead.

Please keep up the good work. The theme looks much better than any default themes.
Very nice theme. <3 Motoko :)))
